creating-video

creating-video is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from oaustegard/claude-skills. It costs 189 tokens per session (1,997 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating a finished video from several AI-generated clips, using a shot list, review steps, and video assembly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make short films, animatics, or other videos from prompts, then review and assemble the scenes into a final cut.
Why use it?
It organizes scene generation and editing when a video must be built from multiple short clips rather than one render.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

creating-video scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/assemble.py, scripts/omni_generate.py, scripts/veo_generate.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Creating Video

Claude cannot render video itself, but it can direct a generator. This skill drives a multi-clip pipeline — script → per-scene generation → review → assembly — with Claude as the editing agent overseeing continuity and cut.

Requires ffmpeg/ffprobe and Cloudflare AI Gateway creds (/mnt/project/proxy.env).

Default model: Gemini Omni Flash (gemini-omni-flash-preview, Interactions API) — Google's own guidance as of 2026-07. It beats Veo on character consistency, reference-image control, text rendering, and conversational editing, and generates faster (~30–90 s/clip vs 1–3 min). Fall back to Veo 3.1 (scripts/veo_generate.py, kept intact) only for scene extension, first+last-frame interpolation, or legacy pipelines — Omni supports neither.

The five stages

  1. Shot list — break the story into beats, up to 10 s each, one prompt per shot.
  2. Generatescripts/omni_generate.py, run detached.
  3. Reviewparsing-video on each clip and on the assembled cut.
  4. Assemblescripts/assemble.py, run detached.
  5. Iterate — re-review, then edit failing scenes conversationally (cheaper and more stable than regenerating from scratch).

Stage 2 — Generation (Omni via Cloudflare AI Gateway)

Auth is CF AI Gateway BYOK: proxy.env supplies CF_ACCOUNT_ID, CF_GATEWAY_ID, CF_API_TOKEN; the Google key lives inside the gateway. Both the interactions call and the files/{id}:download retrieval route through it (verified 2026-07-20).

Run detached. The Interactions API is synchronous — the HTTP call holds open for the whole generation (~30–90 s/clip). bash_tool caps at ~50 s. Launch and adaptive-wait on the DONE sentinel:

# prompts.json = {"1": "...", "2": {"text": "...", "images": ["ref0.png"]}, ...}
set -a; . /mnt/project/proxy.env; set +a
(setsid python3 scripts/omni_generate.py prompts.json --out omni/ \
    --negative "on-screen watermark" &)
# then, in a separate call:
timeout 45 sh -c 'while [ ! -f omni/DONE ]; do sleep 3; done'; cat omni/generate.log

What ships with it

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
